Arturia Microbrute User’s Manual 43
The Octave section transposes the MicroBrute keyboard over a wide pitch range.
One LED among the five colored LEDs (-2 red,-1 orange, 0 green ,+1 orange,+2 red)
is lit at a time and indicates the transposition octave. The default selection is 0
(green LED), where the leftmost C key corresponds to C2 (130.81Hz) and the
rightmost C key corresponds to C4 (523.25Hz).
To shift the keyboard up by one octave press the Up button.
Pressing the Down button once shifts the keyboard down by one octave and the
leftmost C is now C1 and the rightmost is C3. Pressing the Down button a second time
shifts the keyboard down by one more octave.
With the Down and Up buttons the MicroBrute can play notes from C0 (32.7 Hz) up to C6
(2093 Hz).
Master Volume
The Master Volume knob sets the MicroBrute overall output volume, which fits
the standard +4dBu line level. To silence the MicroBrute, turn this knob fully
counter-clockwise.
Sequencer
The Sequencer allows you to record a series of notes in and then it will play them back
in the order that you played them in. The Sequencer on the MicroBrute is a step-
sequencer that allows you to record the notes from the keyboard. It has a total of 8
sequences.
